#Hybridization and #introgression can boost #speciation, but hybridization may also cause loss of #biodiversity - how do species avoid this “dark side of introgression”? Discuss with us @m_matschiner in our symposium no.3 at #SMBE2023 in sunny Italy! https://www.smbe2023.org/

A new paper based on Paul Thompson's 1978 dissertation on the Quercus prinoides complex (the chinquapin oaks), describing two hybrids involving Q. prinoides / Q. muehlenbergii. This is a tough group... there is still ample need in North America for taxonomic discovery, documentation of variation within species, and clarification of the effects of hybridization on the species we recognize.

I agree.
The only thing I would have added is a summarising doodle, a cactus metaphor (#OldPost by D. Morrison: Tree metaphors and mathematical trees: https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2018/02/tree-metaphors-and-mathematical-trees.html)
Reds = maternal lineages (plastomes); blue = nucleomes, (speciation history), stippled arrows = "chloroplast captures" in #phylogenetics but is in fact hostile takeover via asymmetric #introgression or #hybridisation followed by backcrossing with one parent only.

Belatedly, I am a plant systematist at The Morton #Arboretum, with active projects in #oaks (#phylogenetics / #phylogenomics, #hybridization, #introgression, genetic and functional #diversity), #prairies (effects of #phylogenetic and functional diversity on #restoration outcomes), #sedges (#genome and #chromosome evolution), and other plant groups. I also tweet on #botany and #NaturalHistory of the #Chicago region and other areas. Meet my lab at: https://systematics.mortonarb.org
